Google adds Best of 2017 category for Daydream View apps

As we approach the end of the year, the nostalgia is starting to hit. Google has already published their ‘Best of 2017’ for Google play, but has unveiled another Best of category, this time for their VR headset, the Daydream View.

The category is described as a list of ‘best in class titles on Daydream’, and there’s some titles I’d never heard of, let alone tried in there. It’s a mixture of paid and a single free title, and the paid titles are fairly heavily priced, so if you want to try them out you’ll have to pay for it. So, what made it onto the list?

– $12.99 Crash-landed on a sentient planet, you awake to discover a dreamscape world, filled with alien wonder and the remains of a betrayed civilization. You find a powerful relic, the Artifact, that can interact with ancient technology and grant you near-magical powers. Just what secrets does the planet harbor? What cataclysm befell its inhabitants? Using your jetpack-equipped space suit, investigate the ancient ruins to uncover the planet’s perplexing past.

– $11.99 Put on VR headsets in VR to escape your manager and go deeper into nested virtual realities. In the near future, most human jobs are automated. What is the purpose of humanity? Activitude, the Virtual Labor System, is here to help. Your artisanal human companionship is still highly sought by our A.I. clients. Strap on your headset. Find your calling.
